Army Says Budget Cuts Put Readiness At Risk

USA Today reports that "budget reductions could render the Army at 'high risk to meet even one major war,' according to documents obtained by USA TODAY, a warning the Army is sounding because it sees another war as inevitable before long."

"The dire assessment by top Army officials to Pentagon leaders provides a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes struggle for the future of the military in a time of declining budgets."

"The Army provided its assessment as each of the services is conducting a four-year scrub of its strategy and the resources needed to meet it, a process called the Quadrennial Defense Review."
